EdgeRunner:Well lady, there's no legal way to get it back, but maybe you can make him want to get rid of it. Kill yourself and then haunt the kidney till he begs to have it removed. Trust me, if you try this idea, you'll have no more troubles.

Fafai:sjcousins: To be fair she isn't actually trying to get her kidney back, despite what the headline says. She regrets donating it to her husband who promptly left her, which is perfectly understandable.

FTA: "I hate him. If I could, then I would take it back and give it to someone else."

No, she's not actively trying to get it back, but only because she knows that's impossible. She would if she could.

So? She hates him for leaving and regrets giving him one of her kidneys. I'd say that response is pretty normal.

If she's just talking out of some pain after the fact, I'll buy that. But if this is really the idea she has about things at her core, it's like she thinks she should own his life after the operation, and thus, possibly before as well. Given the accusations of infidelity with no evidence or real story there, some major possessiveness is likely afoot. Abuse sometimes comes with that, as another poster speculated. So to call it understandable? I'll say maybe.

/if she's the stalker type, having a piece of her inside you has got to be terrifying

Vector R:He moved his belongings out of their marital home one evening while she was working a night shift at Tesco.He also took the TV and stereo before posting the keys through the letterbox without a note or letter, she claims.

Diiiiiiick.

Article doesn't mention if he washed the dishes before dumping her, so I reserve judgement.

Exactly... She should just be thankful that she wasn't thrown out of a window, becoming paralyzed, then crashing on some weird-ass island with a bunch of other freaks, then dying and having her corpse taken over by a smoke-monster!

Which is exactly half of the reason why I would never take an organ from my wife, the other being that I wouldn't want to compromise her health. I can't imagine being in an intimate relationship with someone who gave me an organ.

"Well I prefer the earth tones for the drapes""I gave you a kidney""Hot pink it is."

Her, "I gave you my kidney, and you won't even do the dishes?"Her, "I gave you my kidney! The least you could do is go watch with me!"Her, "I gave you my kidney, and you didn't even bring me flowers today!"Her, "I gave you my kidney, and you won't even give me the remote!"Her, "I gave you my kidney, so you should give me some jewelry!"Her, "I gave you my kidney, so...hello? Where did you go?"

This.

I can totally see this going down. Some women, if they even do the smallest thing for their man, will make them remember it and try to use it to guilt them for as long as they can. Now imagine if she is that type of woman, and she just gave him a kidney that saved his life. She would think and act like she owned him.

YUP^^^^^^^^ I'm sure that was part of what was going on. It takes two to make a terrible marriage. He doesn't look like he was Mr. Universe, either.

It's the corollary to "that one time you did that one bad thing (real or imagined) and now I get to use it in every argument until the end of time."

there are a lot of people that need to learn to let things go. In her case it's a kidney.

not really. him leaving was a possibility when she gave him the kidney. presumably she gave it to him because she didn't want him to die. Mission accomplished. In hindsight there are lots of things in my life i would have done differently but at the time they seemed to be the best choices. If i spent all my time worrying about what might of been i'd probably end up fat, alone and possibly the focus of an article in the The Mail. Who wants that?

Y'know, I agree one should not lord a donated organ over the recipient. That said, there are a lot of Farkers in here willing to instantly believe the worst of her, and being extremely rude about it along the way.

Loren:I know someone who left his wife when she had a cancer diagnosis. Diiiick?? No--she had had it before, it was knocked into remission for 6 years. During that time she kept playing on her medical issues to be lazy. That removed any hope of things improving, he left.

... cancer treatment can cause all kinds of medical issues. 'Playing on'. Sure. Frankly I consider my mom's ability to get the fark out of BED as worthy of superstar status when hers came back. The two days she didn't wake up before me were the two worst after the initial diagnosis/treatment. The second time, she went into a coma and passed away a couple of days later.
